Memo to Palin: Pale is in

Back in July, I blogged about John McCain's bouts of melanoma, the potentially deadly form of skin cancer, and applauded his recent skin-cancer screening. But in light of McCain's history of skin cancer, this tidbit that came out today about Sarah Palin is particularly disturbing:

"The governor did have a tanning bed put in the Governor's Mansion," Roger Wetherell, chief communications officer of Alaska's Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, confirmed to this newspaper. "It was done shortly after she took office [in early 2007] and moved into the mansion." (Quote from the Narco News Bulletin)
